Armstrong - Whitworth "Atlas"

The A.W. "Atlas" was the first British 2-seater army cooperation airplane which was specifically designed for this mission after WWI.

2 planes of this type were ordered for the Naval Air Force in 1928 and arrived in Greece by July 1929. At the same time, a licence for production of 10 more airplanes was agreed. These were built at the Faliro Airplane Factory.

To reduce costs, the Greek "Atlas" were different in conjunction to the British ones: the structure of the wings was made from wood and the slats were removed. The Jaguar engines had been modified with a reducing gearbox and larger propellers.
